Craig Stadler should be a guest in a Game Sack video

[@jessragan6714]

By now he probably has six feet of dirt on him and looks more like that other guy from Sega Saturn games, Mr. Bones.

[@GameSack]

@@jessragan6714 He is alive and well and lives within 20 miles of me, maybe less. I wish I had access to him.

[@ChaossX77]

​@@jessragan6714Nope. He's still around.

[@Tirgo69]

Think you can get it inside mine?

[@zake64]

​@@GameSack so you're telling me you can't get it inside his?!?

Craig Stadler is my favourite Game Sack original character.

You forgot one important feature for the Mister FPGA PS1 core. You can output 480i games to 480p mode. Making games such as Tobal 1, Dead or alive, Tekken 3 look fantastic!

[@GameSack]

Oh wow I didn't know that. I'll have to try it! The menu is chock full of so many options I probably just missed it.

[@MagisterHamid]

@@GameSack yeah the same option is also in the N64 core. Speaking of N64 core. It has support for mouse. You hook up your usb mouse and games such as Sin & Punishment play like a dream.

[@scrub_jay]

@@MagisterHamid Playing Goldeneye with a mouse and keyboard a few years ago completely changed my opinion of that game

@@GameSack If you haven't already done it, it's worth taking a look at the video filters. I love the Sony Trinitron filter simulation for when I'm playing. Although it is best when you're a sitting back from the screen.

Thank you for the video summary. Now I don't have to watch it I guess.

[@Ephesians-yn8ux]

Johnny you are the hole in the ass that is video game you tube

[@radzachreview]

I get so happy anytime Arnold Palmer’s Tournament Golf is mentioned. Such a great game with chilled out music and a fantastic Opa Opa cameo. That was the only game my dad played with us. He was so paranoid about us losing the instruction manual with all the club distances that he kept it in his room.

[@jongeo]

Hey Joe, great video. The Saroo guy patched the issue with saturn homebrew, so you may already have that firmware update. The Saroo often has to patch games to work (because it's cheap and janky) and the issue was that many homebrew apps share the same, generic "game id", which is also used by the retail game Heart of Darkness. The Saroo would then think that any homebrew app also using that ID was HoD and apply the patch, causing the game to crash on boot. As far as I know, this has never affected fan translations, as those have the same product number as the originals. The way Saroo has to patch games can cause issues with fan translations though, because the game data has been modified. People don't want to worry about that shit with Saroo, when it should really just be improved to not need to patch games. As far as we can tell, it's not for any good reason.

[@GameSack]

Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully they can get rid of the patching thing and also make it run ISOs and have directories.

[@jongeo]

​@@GameSackagreed, and I'd add to that list an option to emulate original cd load times for stability. I think that's what's causing the graphical glitches.

[@SegaFanatic5188]

@@jongeo There's also apparently an issue with VA0 Saturns where noise around the cart slot causes the audio glitches he was seeing assuming he has a VA0. I'd be curious if adding shielding to the Saroo Cart alone would help with that.

[@rezqiano]

"And I'm not done" Exactly what I wanted to hear.

[@torgeist.]

We can live indefinitely in 90s, thanks to all those creative people out there. I switched to a Mister a few months back, but I'm glad that old consoles never truly die! (except when they die someday).

[@WillKeaton]

22:16 "The SD card goes in upside-down, so turn the entire unit upside-down when inserting it..." What a kidder, Joe. "....because if you don't the SD card will fall into the case and then you have to take it apart to get it out." Oh, he wasn't kidding.

[@willmistretta]

Thankfully, you set it up so that you can access the your MiSTer storage via an FTP program like Filezilla, allowing you to keep it updated without have to constantly remove and insert the card.

[@mjdf122]

Oh man, I really appreciate all of the info on the Saroo. I recently got one and the whole experience has been a lot more confusing than your standard ED. This helps a lot, thank you!

Thanks for all your efforts in making this Joe, as it is greatly appreciated by myself and many others.

[@bit_scene]

The Wave Race music is painfully good! 30:00 So Jazzy, had me squinting my eyes and grooving. 🎵🎶🎹🎵🎶

[@richiefarm]

So on the Saroo if you want alphabetical game list, in the config file Joe mentioned to change the language, directly underneath that, add "sort_mode = 1" and it will then sort them for you. It should look like this: [global] lang_id = 1 sort_mode = 1

[@GameSack]

Hey thanks man. I had some others telling me it had been addressed but you actually told me HOW to address it. Thanks again! :) BTW - do you have the config to allow directories?

[@travistatsch7582]

@@GameSack for directories, youll want to set them up in the saroocfg as: category1 = "folder-name" category2 = "yet-another-folder-name" then have directories matching the names you put in quotes under the ISO dir and you should be good. iirc it supports up to 10 different directories

[@Brandonheat8]

[@Write-Stuff]

I'm blown away by all the research and time Joe puts into these projects. The fact he knows each one inside out shows what a pro he is. Also, Craig sure turned out to be a hit. Wow. Now someone just needs to create an AI version of him to interact with Joe in real-time.

[@Idelacio]

You can now pick up the MiSTer Pi by Taki Udon for around $150 complete! It's a fully compatible DE10 Nano clone so prices are pushed way down. No need to spend upwards of $500 anymore! A company called QM tech also makes clone boards with the SDRAM built in.

[@sandrinowitschM]

If you can find one. I could only find one website and it's already sold out. That doesn't bode well for the price staying that low for long.

[@Idelacio]

@@sandrinowitschM He is doing them in manufacturing batches and on the one site, but yeah likely have to be a bit patient. :( Worth bearing in mind though. He sounds committed to long term production so I don't think prices are going to ruse much. QMTech boards are sold on AliExpress, but recommend watching some vids on those first as they have some quirks.

[@Hawk_Eye_Retro]

I was going to say the same thing. $150 for HDMI/analog output - this is the way!

[@rodmunch69]

@@Idelacio yeah, so in 2026 you might finally be able to get one - of course "inflation" will have raised the price by that point, but only to $400, so you'd still be saving $20.

To fix the menu clipping with the Retrotink 4K, just append the following to the end of your mister ini file: [menu] direct_video=0 You can also designate that per-core for any that have corruption with the Tink. Vectrex comes to mind.
